WWW academic papers Absolutely everything
Synergy • Ebooks (including EPUB) are based on web technologies • Self publishing: blog first, ebook second
Differences (1): Packaging • IDPF • EPUB publications are distributable packages of web contents. • IETF and W3C • MHTML (mainly for e-mail) • W3C widget packaging (mainly for widgets)
Differences (2): Key players • W3C • Browser vendors • IT guys • IDPF • Google, Apple • B&N, Kobo, Sony, ... • Traditional publishers
Differences (3): Priorities • IDPF • Longevity • Traditional typography • Vertical writing • Ruby • Javascript in EPUB is not recommended. • W3C • Web-based application programs
Going forward • Awareness • Information exchange • AHL and SVG • AHL and media fragments • EPUB and CSS

Multi-directional mapping among multiple renditions within a ZIP file • Multi-directional links not embedded in HTML or SVG • Based on regions in images
Intra-rendition navigation Fixed-layout rendition
Panel-based navigation for comics on mobile phones • Different navigation for different screen sizes • “Table of contents” in image-based magazines
Representing regions • Two possibilities • Media fragmentsof W3C • SVG elements or views • Issues • Non-rectangular? • Neither views nor renderable elements, but rather hints for reading systems?
Report of the AHL session of the SVG WG meeting • Liaison statement from AHL to SVG • AHL Participation in the F2F of the SVG WG yesterday • Very productive and friendly atmosphere • SVG WG even mentioned the idea of finishing non-rectangular views in a timely manner • Liaison statement back from SVG is being written.
